Sea Eagles vs. Eels Predictions

The NRL continues with Round 8 action between the Sea Eagles vs. Eels on Sunday, April 26 at 4:05pm at 4 Pines Park.

A close game is expected to close out the round, where the Eels could pull off another upset.

Best Bet

Eels +7.5 @ $1.90

The Eels pulled off a big upset over the Bulldogs last week, and there is no reason to jump off their backs on Sunday.

It was a much-needed win from the Eels, who were struggling with three straight losses, and it wasn’t just an ordinary victory. They were +14.5 underdogs, and they beat the Bulldogs 38-20, which should get their confidence levels up.

The Sea Eagles are also coming off a big win when scoring a 38-6 romping of the Cowboys. However, they could meet their match against the Eels, who have enough attacking power to put up points on the road.

The +7.5 line is better than expected, so we’re jumping on the underdogs to keep it close.

Same Game Multi

Eels +7.5, Josh Addo-Carr Anytime Try Scorer, Will Penisini Anytime Try Scorer, Over 53.5 @ $8.50

Josh Addo-Carr pays short odds to score a try. He has a try in four of his last five games, which is why bookmakers have him at $1.53. The odds are good enough to include in NRL same game multi bets this week.

Will Penisini is a $2.50 chance to score, which boosts payouts. He is looking to score a try in each of his last three games, and when he’s confident, the Eels typically play well.

There are plenty of points in the Sea Eagles and Eels, and their defences haven’t been consistent in 2026. The final score could be 30-28, so over 53.5 points is worth including in multi bets.

Best Value Bet

Eels H2H @ $2.84

Bet Now

There is a good chance of the Eels winning outright, and we priced them at $2.20 at the start of the week.

They’re not getting much respect with NRL odds, but when the Eels come off a win, they usually follow it up with another strong performance.

Look for Mitch Moses to control the tempo of the game, and he only needs his teammates to back him up. Given what’s on the line, we expect the team to play wll, so take the $2.84.
